| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Sarcoidosis of the upper respiratory tract (SURT) is an underappreciated manifestation of sarcoidosis. We described the clinicoradiological findings, methods of treatment, and outcomes of 68 patients with SURT seen in our clinic over a 7-year period. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. A Case Control Etiology of Sarcoidosis Study (ACCESS) instrument of organ involvement was used to classify patients with SURT. Patients with a definite or probable diagnosis of SURT underwent chart review for symptoms, radiological features, treatment, and outcome. RESULTS: There were 6.8% (68/998) of patients in the sarcoidosis clinic who had SURT. The most common presenting symptom was nasal congestion (61%, 34/56). In patients who had SURT diagnosed after the initial presentation of sarcoidosis, the mean prednisone dose more than quadrupled (4 + or - 6.5 vs 18.6 + or - 15.9, P = 0.002) between the diagnosis of SURT and the end of follow up. By the end of follow up, only 40% of our cohort had significant improvement of SURT. CONCLUSION: SURT is a form of sarcoidosis that is not uncommon. Relatively high doses of corticosteroids are required to control the disease, and improvement occurs in a minority of the patients although the disease usually can be stabilized. Surgery should be reserved for life-threatening complications as surgical outcomes are relatively poor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
